Date Bug in iOS 11.1.2 Causing Crash Loop on iPhones as December 2 Hits [Updated]

The irony of this is hilarious . I missed practically every single trending bug due to keeping my devices on Developer Betas.

 

Tomorrow is going to be a long day for Apple support staff....yikes!

 

Gone past 5pm in Sydney, Australia, iOS 11.1.2 on iPhone X. Didn’t even know about this bug till I read this. No issue here.

 

When Apple comes out with a statement, I’ll believe the panic.

https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Y2K all over again.

 

why do you think an on-device issue would be reflected in a status page for their online services?

 

Yikes...

What about the Reminders app... I have some weekly reminders set up there..

 

12:24am here, none of my iOS devices are having this issue. Time to go to bed.

 

Though I believe there is some truth to the above, this issue seems to be more a core function that should be the same across all devices.

Not surprised: the "new and improved" (ha!) Notification center has been real wonky for me. Apple too focused on change for change's sake, imo.

 

I usually don’t receive notifications late at night so I won’t know until tomorrow. As far as I know I don’t receive repeating notifications that are identical and occur at the same time everyday (if that’s the issue here). I guess one example would be a reminder notification to take your pills at the same time each day. It has the potential to be a very “interesting” day today if this really blows up. I’m just curious why it’s Dec. 2?

 

When a company focuses more on diversity than product quality.

 

To quote Apple „we dont think of the price. We think of the great value and user experience we provide to our customers“

hahahaha, another week another bug on iOS 11. it seems like it is saver to use betas than final releases in Apples case nowadays. Sad

Post makes no sense whatsoever

 

The bug is described as local time-based, so why wouldn’t this affect iCould Reminders and iCloud Calendar on Apple’s servers?

 

It Almost feels like there is a saboteur that has been planted in their OS department.

 

Doesn’t seem to be affecting m

 

But but but... muh gender-neutral emojis and talking poop!

 

...because it affects iPhones not servers? it's causing iPhones to crash not services?

please tell me that this isn't really going that far over your head?

 

No issues here in Turkey. Both SE and 7 working good

 

It seems like it's related to date/time, but also to local notifications, as in those coming from within apps on devices themselves, as opposed to those being pushed remotely.

 

I’m well aware of the differences between server and local notifications. Apparently, my original post was too vague, so I’ll try again.

These reports are sourced from Twitter and reddit. When Apple confirms this, then it will be something to take notice.

In the meantime, I’m not going to panic in the streets like my iPhone is going to melt or think about how I’ll get through the rest of my life without Waterminder notifications.

 

Hit me last night, in a bar of all places. I briefly wondered whether I may have dropped it.

Anyway after seeing this story I tried the date reset which worked but I couldn't access WhatsApp. So I have just turned off all notifications and set the date back to auto. That worked, stopped resetting and I can access all my apps.

 

Please Apple: Don’t introduce a new bug when you fix this one.

 

No issues on iPhone X runnning affected software here...

Some tech guys in Cupertino are going to work tired right now in their PJs.

 

Actually...Samoa beats NZ a whole hour...
I just happen to know these kind of geography for some strange reasons...

 

If only they were that lucky. They could try to weed that person out. How do you weed out a growing incompetence. Does Apple outsource their QC or something?

 

This is the worst iPhone bug ever.. my iPhone SE is completely unusable, the respringing thing cut off every function ..the solution is to set yesterday date, I’ve done , it’s the only way to use my iPhone .. but this is ridiculously disturbing and distorting my calendar, events, emails, messages, calls, etc.., everything keep trace of time.
